William Brackett - New Berrien County Gen Web Coordinator
October 1, 2012 -
My name is William Brackett and I am the new county coordinator for Berrien County.
I have lived in Berrien County all my life and have been doing genalogy
for the past thirty years. I am very familiar with the Berrien
County availalbe records and how to search them. I am looking
forward to serving you on this website.
Current Updates -
May 2013
Thanks to Chet Pelton for his contribution of Penn Yann School photos and the student listings.
Fall months - 2012
Many of the older burials for some of the
cemeteries have been added. Try our search engine to see if any of you
ancestors are now included. If you have newer or older known
burials and would like to honor those loved ones, let us hear from you.
In November we also added more school
information. And also in November and December viewers sent in more
biographies and photos of ancestors that once lived in this great
county.
Many thanks to Cindy Hester who contributed several photos of grave markers in the Pine Grove cemetery in New Buffalo.
Summer Months - 2012:
Naturalization page: Creation of an Immigration page with examples
of what some of those earlier papers looked like and some of the abbreviations you see on census reports.
Biographies: More biographies from viewers were submitted and placed on
site..
Family photos: Love all the photos of days gone by being submitted.
Cemetery - Viewers also sent in more data on their ancestors and loved ones buried within our county.
Future projects include improving on our cemetery listings and adding to our
Civil War veterans of Berrien County. We will endeavor to add to our old time school listings also. Got one to send us?
